Abstract

The snake plant, or , is a species that has become well-known for both its remarkable therapeutic qualities and aesthetic appeal. It has long been utilized in traditional medicine to promote fiber formation and wound healing, but more recent research has revealed its full medicinal potential. The botanical characteristics of , such as its morphology, taxonomy, ecological and cultural needs, and therapeutic use, are thoroughly examined in this review. Moreover, the presence of vital bioactive substances that underlie the plant’s numerous therapeutic advantages, including triterpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, and steroidal saponins, are also explored. Interestingly, seven essential components that are essential to the plant’s medicinal effectiveness, namely beta-d-xylopyranose, sansevierigenin, beta-sitosterol, neoruscogenin, and ruscogenin, are identified. This review emphasizes how unusual these discoveries are and suggests that the chemical components of the plant may provide new ways to treat neurological illnesses, promote wound healing, and manage metabolic diseases like diabetes. Furthermore, the pharmacological properties of these molecules present encouraging opportunities for the creation of natural medicinal medicines. By combining a botanical and pharmacological viewpoint, this review advances our understanding of . It also suggests a framework for further research that may uncover more bioactive compounds and increase the plant’s use in conventional and contemporary pharmacotherapy. The culmination of these observations ultimately indicates the enormous unrealized potential of in medicinal and pharmaceutical settings, indicating a significant area for further research focused on drug development and health innovation.
